Interpolic Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I've just done it with Wigan getting 7 points and us getting 1 and we go down by a point but effectively 2 points due to the goal difference disadvantage vs Wigan/Norwich. Admittedly a fairly negative POV I've taken there, but fairly justified and certainly possible. This weekend is so crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 One thing I will say for Lambert is he must have balls of steel if he's really never been worried about us going down this season, because I and every other Villa fan have been shitting my pants for months now. I still think we've chucked too many kids in at once, and that is the main thing which has led to an awful season, but I've got to say, some - not all, some - of his lower league buys have been very good. Benteke, obviously, but also Lowton and Westwood have been very good indeed. Apparently Sylla did well tonight, too. It's a gigantic risk, and it is truly fucking horrifying watching us flaunt with destruction, but it's very watchable. If only we could learn to defend. I genuinely can not recall the last time we kept a clean sheet - it can't be in the last three or four months. We are still in the mire, but we at least have a tad of momentum. Looking bad for you lot tonight, but you've got three points largely guaranteed at QPR, and it'll be Wigan who drop, no worries at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 On that predictor i've got us finishing 17th and staying up by a point Me too, and that's with us getting 1 point in the last three games (against QPR) and Wigan getting 5 points.

Mick Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 They're down because their players haven't given a s*** all season. They're not going to start now. Most will be looking for new clubs, I can see them actually fighting a bit more now that the pressure is off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most will be looking for new clubs, I can see them actually fighting a bit more now that the pressure is off. It's not their fight I'm worried about, it's their goal threat. We haven't dealt with the opposition danger men all season so I can see Remy and Taraabt causing us shitloads of problems. Whereas our danger man Cisse will have to feed off floated lobs in his general direction while Sissoko is snuffed out on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Must say, it comforts me slightly when outsiders say we'll be fine. But, really, it's just guesswork isnt it? I just think back to Saturday and get crushed again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no use trying to stress to people just how bad we are- it almost comes across as bragging, but its more emphasising just how utterly screwed we are. To me, we are the worst team in the league, without question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Wigan will surely be resting key players against Swansea too with the final a few days later? There's no way they can go full strength three times in the space of a week? Will they though? A cup final or even a cup win would be lovely, but is that more important than survival?
